The Elder Care Ministry Team is up and going again. Ray White and Judy Osborn will be calling our Golden Friends to make arrangements for visits and communion.

This summer the Outreach Team is focusing support on Cheyenne’s Welcome Mat, which is a day center for people experiencing homelessness. The Welcome Mat is under new management and has recently been revitalized, as well as taking on a new name— Day Center-Cheyenne.

On May 12th, Pastor Aerii, Ruby Zubrod, and Linda Chasson attended the sentencing hearing for Karen Bryan over the embezzlement that happened in September/October 2024. It was with much prayer for Karen, the congregation, and those attending that we went into this sentencing hearing, awaiting to know what the judge would decide about restitution and accountability. The judgment is that Karen will repay nearly $23,000 in restitution to the congregation over the course of 3 y

We have 6 kids and 2 counselors headed off to church camp on the 14th of June. We’ll bless them on their way that Sunday, but you know what one of the best parts of camp is? Getting mail!

Join us August 7-8, 2026 in Pueblo, CO for our upcoming Regional Assembly for the Central Rocky Mountain Region. Every two years, the entire region of churches gets together to worship and learn from each other. The theme this year is “What’s Next? Light, Hope, Expectation” There will be a strong focus on church buildings and planning and structuring for the future of congregation and churches.

Sometimes it’s a bit hard to know what to write about when it comes to this note in the newsletter. However, there have been many discussions in the last few weeks over the state of finances at the church, and church leadership feels it’s important to be as transparent as possible.

Everyone who has reaped the service of our FCC kitchen are invited and encouraged to join in the Spring Shower for our kitchen. The kitchen, as well as the essentials that it takes to best serve the people of the church, has been so faithful through the years. However, after serving the congregation so well for so long, many standard kitchen items are worn and weary and need to be retired!... Thus, this is your opportunity to contribute to its shower.

Habitat for Humanity home building is blazing in Cheyenne, and FCC is in the thick of it! Thanks to everyone who helped with our church’s build day on April 25. If you missed out on this great event, there are two more opportunities to help get our Cheyenne neighbors in need into a safe, secure, and healthy home of their own.

On April 13th, the team met for the first time in three months. We had fantastic discussion about making sure that we stay true to the original purpose of the fundraiser. To help teen moms with housing and resources.

A word of appreciation to all who shared with us on April 3 at the All-Church Good Friday event sponsored by the Christian Women’s Fellowship. We hope the importance and significance of Good Friday contributed a meaningful step in your journey through and observance of Holy Week as we approached Easter. A special thank you to Theresa Barbre and Krista Williams for sharing their talents with us. Following the service in the chapel, the food and fellowship were fantastic. The

We’re sinking into summer and a change of seasons, although some days it feels like summer is already here. With summer comes a shift in the rhythm of life. I find that during the summer, we have really intense weeks of activities and then nothing at all. But such is church life, rhythms, and the falling away of rhythms.

Spring is coming! It may feel like we really haven’t had a true Wyoming Winter yet, but we have already turned to daylight saving time, and spring is really right around the corner! All of this means it is time to start planning to attend the Annual CWF Ladies Spring Gathering on Saturday, May 16. Showers are always fun, whether it is for a new baby, a new marriage, or a new home. Maybe more novel, but just as much fun will be the “Spring Shower for the FCC Kitchen” that is

Opportunities to love your neighbor abound at First Christian Church of Cheyenne.

Another great evening of sharing, fellowship, laughter, and good food happened once again at the Chili Cook Off on National Chili Day at First Christian Church. First of all, a great big “Thank You” to LuAnn Chaffin and Ruby Zubrod for chairing this most successful event sponsored by the Christian Women’s Fellowship.

Our youth and children are preparing for a busy summer of campfire chronicles and church camp, dreaming away what those days will mean while they finish up the school year! Check out the bulletin board in the Narthex for some winter photos of the kids and everything they’ve been doing lately!

Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in First Christian’s 100th anniversary celebration. It was wonderful to learn about the church’s rich history and commitment to the Cheyenne community. I truly appreciated the incredible hospitality shown by everyone. I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your celebration. The First Christian Faith Family is a wonderful witness to God’s love to all. Blessings, Pastor Vinnetta

We’ve been talking a whole lot during this season about being a resurrection congregation, about stepping into our faith fully and allowing Christ to transform us into whatever is next. We have a call right in front of us to do that. And it’s scary because we don’t know what resurrection looks like, just that it looks different than what currently is.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

We met on February 4th at Highlands Presbyterian Church for a town hall meeting to discuss the finances of the church. The point of meeting at Highlands instead of in our building was to remember that we are a congregation first and we connect with the church building second. We can be church outside of these walls. We had great attendance and discussed the fact that we have 4.3 years of reserves left before we will be out of money to support our budget. 4.3 years. That w
